The deputy RDC for Maracha District, Koliba Monica Kotevu noted that, the first phase of Parish Development Model implementation had lots of challenges, where some public servants decided to award for themselves money through the sacoo groups or extort money from PDM beneficiaries.

While confirming the arrest of the LC3 Chairperson for Awiziru Sub-county, Ms Monica said, they will continue to pursue suspects who are still at large after mismanaging the funds.

"A general case file has been opened in the district against public servants who might have or have been engaged in embezzling PDM funds in Maracha District", Deputy RDC Monica added.
